A CAPITAL HIT—A HYMN.
RP A. CONSCRIPT
We're coming, Ancient Abraham, aeverial hundred
strong,
We hadet no $300, - and so we come along;
We hadn't no rich parents to pony up the tin.
$o we went unto the Provost, and there were mustered
in.
We hadn't no "strabismus," nor any greenback piles,
So the doctor rasped us over and put us in the files;
Then a bold man with bag'net rose up and led the way,
And they took us to an island in the harbor—called
Mackay.
Oat 11 6 A frotitis" was al right, our 11 os sternum" it
wasn't wrong;
They called us bully fellows, and so we marched along;
We didn't have three hundred j tat at that serious day,
So we took the line of march to the Island of Mackay.
There was chaps as had the PECT.IIIBI.B and some as had
OBSTRUCTIONS;
And some with 'SIMIAN AGUR made carious genullue
tions
And some with mounted eye-glass as couldn't see a
dray ;
Bo they didn't all go with us to the Island of Mackay.
There wee come that had GASTRITIS and some were
TARIOOSK,
And out of those unfortunates there is not one as goes;
I tried to have NIIPINTBS, but couldn't make it work,
do I goes for a brave; roger and doesn't mean to shirk.
There Was some with HYPISTROPHT, and some with
PIEL YRS TRICUSPID,
And awns - who had an - or/Era, and come -alactalatigateara
bu.ted
But they all, so far as I seed, had very best of clothes
on,
And they might had other reasons, for all this , rsoger”
• knows on.
But for all the conscripts taken, the largest porti:n
aumberect,
Stepped Up nnto the officer and - poppet/ the three hrn.
drea ;
And they told us we, were bully boys to stand in battles'
So we fra
wenty;
with the bold Corporal to the isle in Casco
Bay.
We're persuaded to be soldiers, and go to meet the foe,
Not having the three hundred of ONIIIO we're bound to
go;
But, oh! good Father Abraham, of the money that's
paid e'er,
Be careful that old Cameron don't get a shilling more.
We're coming, Ancient Abram, " severial" hundred
etrougi
We're coming, Father Abraham, and as we march
along,
We're thinking of the Union and the Constitution. too,
So let alone the nigger and we'll help you put it
through.
Perhaps 1 3 1,1 toe A Maier Qeneral, and wear the triple
stars,
But surely as I get them I'll devote myself to Mars;
But won't like General Butler, with his pockets full of
•
dosh,
Rampage about the country with suchpolitical bosh.
For the universal nigger is not the man for me— .
I consider that the white man is just as good as he
Be-we're diming, Father Abraham, " aeverial” hundred
strong,
But -to fight for the old Union le the burden of our
song.
HIGH PRIVITH FMf Tr; OF POODUCK..
SPEECH
HON. PHIL ADELPR VAN TRUMP,
Delivered. before tho Convention that nominated
him for Common Pleas Judge.in 1862. •
We call the attention of out readers to the
following extract from the speech of Mr. Van
Trump, now the candidate for Supreme Judge
in Ohio :
I accept the doratlition in the spirit with
which it has been Tendered ; not as a reward
for mere partisan services; not in any factious
spirit of party organization; but as an indorse
ment of an honest independence in standing
up for the right, amid the whirlwind of ex
citethent and fanaticism which rules the hour;
and as a rebuke to that spirit of vindictive ha
tred and persecution which has been showered
upon me by nearly the whole mass of the Re
publican party here, for no other reason than
that I have modestly but firmly exercised the
common right of an American citizen to think
and speak of the acts and doings or the ser
vants of the people. How long you andl shall
be
. permitted thus to think and speak of the
official acts of those now seated in the high
places of the Gittieriment ; how soon the gag
upon the freedom of speech and the freedom
of the press shall change from a partial to a
universal order of things, produced by secret
midnight orders from the councils of the na
tion—the history of the next few months must
determine for the American people. If this
great right, baptized in blood and guaranteed
to us by the dearest provisions of the Consti
tution under which we live, thus to think and
to speak of the administration of the Qovern
merit, is to be wrested from the people, at a
time and in a crisis when it is most important
and essential that it should exist unimpaired
and unrestricted, why then we have but the
mere shadow of liberty, a mere caricature of
constitutional government ; and so far MI real,
genuine, practical freedom is concerned, you
might, jest as well live under the despotism of
Joseph of Hapsburg" of Austria, as that of
Abraham Lincoln of the United States' of
America. Any manly and independent stric
tures, either upon the blunders or the corrup
tions of the administration, are at once dis
torted into treason and disloyalty to the Govern
ment, by 'a set of craven sycophants and in
formers, who are always ready, whether in
peace or in war, to •
Crook the pregnant kir Oa Of the knee,
Where thrift may follow fawning:"
A refusal to shout hosannahs to the uncon
stitutional acts and usurpations of the Presi
dent, such as no monarch of England has dared
to assume since the iron reign of the Tudors, is
denounced as sympathy with rebellion, or branded
as aid and comfort to traitors, and he who dares
to think and act for himself as becomes the
loyal citizen of a free government, is hunted
down with all the rancor of that fell spirit of
persecution, which has made the history of
other times, but similar controversies, the great
land marks and beacon lights in the struggles
of the people for the establishment, or the main
tenance, , of civil and constitutional liberty.
The great principle for which the Democratic
party is now struggling in this government, is
no new thing . in the history of mankind. It is
as old as the first dawnings of civilization; it is
the old and oft repeated contest between popu
lar privilege on the one side,and exeoutive usurr
pation on the other—the rights of the people
against the One Akan Power, wnen used to crush
out the liberty of the individual citizen. It is
the same principle "for which Hampden bled
and Sidnerautfered and it is in as much dan
ger now, upon the shores of free America, and
in a government of plainly written constitu
tions, as ever it was in the stormiest days when
Charles' legions and Cromwell's squadrons met
in the deadly shock of battle on the deiastated
plains of England, two hundred years ago. And
what 'great question was it, Which , shook
the English throne and brought the head of
Charles to the block t What Wail it that ewe
up that great bad minister, Stafford, to the
justice of violated law, and he vengeance of
insulted privilege ? It was the arrest of pri
vate citizens by secret orders from the privy
council around the throne, a process unknown
to the laws ant 'institutions of England, and at
a time r too, when that country was reeling un
der the fierce eurgee of civil commotion. And

yet we, the American people, with the best ed
ucated masses the world ever saw—in the nine
teenth century—in the full blaze of modern
civilizatien—and under a Constitution which
clearly defines the mode by which a citizen
shall be deprived of his personal liberty, with
out reference to time or circumstance—are
made subject to the despotic will of one man,
and draffged, in the dead hour of midnight, .to
the cells of a distant prison house, for crimes
unspecified, without the privilege of counsel,
and in the very. face of open courts and unob
structedlaws.
Can such things be,
And overcome us like a summer cloud,
Without our enecial wonder 77,
If crime or disloyal practices have been com
mitted by Democrats or others,let them be pun
ished, but punished according to the Constitution
and the Laws. The Democratic party, as loyal
and law-abiding citizens ? demand this, and
nothing more ; and they will not willingly sub
mit to anything less. This thing is done, and
only can be done, through a violated Constitu
tion and by the arbitrary assumption of power
unknown to the executive branch of the gov
ernment. These times, gentleptnen, are testing
our political institutions. Our greatest states
men of other days—the ablest commentators
of the Constitution—and the great mass of the
people themselves—have labored under a most
signal misapprehension ire regard to the work
ing, if not the natural tendency, of our politi-.
cal institutions, in.periods of great pressure
and excitement. No greater error has been
committed, as almost every day's experience
k now testifies, than the fond - and cherished
d..sup
position, that the great principles of public
liberty have been successfully suspended and
secured amid the nicely balanced checks of the
Constitution. So far from the executive office
being teo weak and inefficient, as against the
checks and restraints of the co-ordinate
bratiehes of the government, es has been sup
posed by some of the greatest men who have
both framed and administered it, modern times,
and recent instances of its exercise, have
proved it to be one of the strongest depart
ments of political power known to any govern
ment of limited powers on the face of the earth.
With whatever restraints and limitations the
exercise Of delegated power has been curbed
—however exactly and harmoniously may have
been adjusted the complex machinery of the
government—with interest weighed against in
tenet, and a system of checks and . balances
provided against every supposed possible abuse
of power—there still exists beneath all this
splendid apparatus of laws and regulations, as
iacideut to all human •institutions, the gigantic
energy of the passions, which, when :uroused
into phrenzy, brush away like cob-webs the
most sagacious contrivances to hold its vibra
tory point true to the magnet of the common
weal.
What is it that has brought about the terrible
crisis Which is now upon the American people,
crushing out their national prosperity, loading
them down with a burden of taxation unheard
of in modern. times and deluging their fairest
fields with fraternal blood ? It_ : isthe insane
fanaticism.Of _an, WM/kW pulpit on _the, one
side, and the infernal treason of the political
club houses on the other. These two instru
ments have worked together more than thirty
years in bringing about the. great calamity
which is now shaking the continent as with
the mighty throes of an earthquake. It is a
remarkable fact, that John Quincy Adams and
John Caldwell Calhoun, the two representative
men of these excited factions, thirty-one years
ago, first suggested those twin ideas of political
heresy, abolition of slavery by Congress, and the
secession of States from the Confederated Govern
ment by legislative ordinance. It was in 1831
that John Quincy Adams first introduced into
the Congress of the United ,States, petitions
from the clergy of New _England, and other
religious enthusiasts, praying for the abolition
of slavery in the Distract of Columbia; and it
was during the next succeeding year that the
State of South Carolina r throughthe influence
of John C. Calhoun, pissed her ordinance of
nullification. From that day to the present,
these two factions have worked in harmony
together, for the same' common object—the
dissolution of the Union and the destruction
of American nationality., This collision be
tween fanatielem and treason at last became
painfully manifest 'to the American people.
They both converged to that same common can
trts : a rupture of the political relation which
had become alike irksome to both.. The one ex
hibited its ultraism in the nomination of geo
graphical candidates, and the adoption of a
sectional platform against the explicit and
solemn warning'of the Father of his country;
the other blew the counter blast of • treason,
and boldly proclaimed the doctrine of secession
as the rightful remedy for stieh abuse of poli
tical power.
In this state of feeling, and in such a con
troversy, Abraham Lincoln became President
of the United States. In such a crisis, with
such a field for the exercise of broad-minded
patriotism, and with such an opportunity for
great; and good, and wise counsels to sustain
the Union sentiment in the South, and save
the border slave States—what a destiny for
himself and for his country, lay before that
single man ! The world never witnessed such
a conjuction of time and opportunity for good.
Such a pivot-point of great national interests,
of terrific public dangers, and of resulting in
fluences upon the destinies of the remote fu
ture, for millions of unborn human beings,
never before existed. But he was unequal to
the great occasion ; he misunderstood, or dis
regarded the high, the awful trust committed
to his, charge. Instead of disarming the rebel.
lion y discharging his duty to the whole coun
try and the whole '
people, he added to its
strength, while he crushed out the remaining
Union sentiment in the South, by calling
around him, as his constitutional advisers, men
of the most violent sectional views, and who
were the prime movers of that fatal centre.
versy which at last arrayed the sections in
undying hostility to each other. That fatal
littleness of mind, that narrow and mere par
tisan survey of the troubled political field be
fore Mm, and the subsequent adoption of a
policy so clearly condemned and deprecated,
long in advance of the anticipated crisis, by
Hamilton, by Madison, by Adams and by Ed
mund Randolph, have vastly contributed to our
difficulties, and have been a fruitful source of
all Our national woe. God only knows, gen
tlemen of the convention, what is to be the
final issue of the fiery ordeal through which
free institutions on this continent are now
passing. It is possible they may come out the
purer and brighter from the fierce alembic of
civil war. It is possible, and only possible,
that this once great confederated Union of free
and independent sovereignties, now prostrated
like the pillar!! of um by the Sampson of civil
strife, may again.reeonstrueted, to give

thus befallen ear common country, portentotis
alike to the liberties and great interests of the
American people, believing as I honestly did,
that the clearly indicated mission of the De
mocratic party wan what I WO anted it to
be, I had no hesitation in uniting' my.. dedtinies
with it., prepared to stand or fall with its or
ganization.
In the dark valley of the future which lies
before us, whose impenetrable gloom no human
intelligence can penetrate, let us walk with a
firm tread and unfaltering hearts, neither fool
ishly seeking or cowardly avoiding diffioultii;
but feeling that no sacrifice will be too great, if
dedicated to the preservation of the Constitq
tion as it is, and the restoration of the Union
as it was. And if at last that glorious Union of
States, cemented by the richest blood ever shed
uponithe battle field, shall be severed and de
stroyed by a frenzy the most insane that ever
maddened the human heart, let us have the
proud, the self-sustaining consolation that no
mad fanaticism of ours has contributed to the
mighty calamity. Nay, gentlemen, let us seek
consolation in another possible contingency
If, in the inscrutable ways of Providence,
through the madness of despotic power, and in
a system of terror inaugurated by anarchy, and
the wildest passions of men unrestrained
by law or religion, we should become the
victims of a fierce persecution for political
opinion, let us bear in nand the lofty sentiment,
that the end of that man never can come too
soon, who falls in defense of the peace, the
happiness, and the liberties of his country!
Amid all this will convulsion of the social and
political organism—under the most despotic
tyranny whioh can or may be fastened upon us
by the creatures of a mere political accident
let us still be able to say :
"Thy spirit, Independence, let us share,
Lord of the Lion-heart and Salle-eye;
Thy steps we'll follow with our bosoms bare.
Nor heed the storm that howls along the s o y!""
Thank. Gott! that spirit still lives in the
Democratic party I I love it because -of that
spirit. I love it. for it for its untemporizing
boldness in the assertion of what is right. I
love it for its straight-forward directness in the
avowal of its principles. I love it for the
domitable courage with which it maintains its
arksiniistion•againet all the 'despotic efforts to
put down and stifle its utterance. I love; it for
its single-minded and unalterable attachment
to the Union, the idol of its political worship,
for the legitimate maintainance of which it
leads the column of brave hearts now striking
fox its defence. I' love it, because it has nobly
resolved to "sink or swim, live or die, survive

A BRUTAL ATTACK ON THE IRISH.
The Boston Commonwealth, the organ of
Charles Sumner, an extreme Abolition print,
in speaking of the Irishman, says :
We by no means contend that he is equal
in moral and intellectual endowments to the
colored man; but we insist that he is capable
of tv good degree of improvement. When We
demagogue is dead, and Croton and Cochituate
are universal, then will be the. Copperhead's
opportunity. Then we will bet on him (in
small sums, ' ) and in the race with Sambo, Pat
rick may save his distance."
This is said of that race that has produced
Burke, Sheridan, Grattan, Curran, Tom Moore,
Daniel O'Connell, Robert Emmett and a. host
of others whose. names shine resplendent upon
the pages 'of history. This is the race whom
Abolitionism places below the negro !---Cin.
Enquirer. .
Yes, and General Jackson, and Montgomery,
and Commodore Barry, the father of the Amer
roan navy ; and Sullivan, Carroll, Shields, and
boats of others. The ignorance of the writer
who penned the vile paragraph in the Boston
Commonwealth is only equalled by his black
hearted prejudice.. Did he ever hear of such
names as Wellington, and Palmerston, and
Gough, Berkely, the founder of a Yankee mol
lege; Fulton, the inventor of steamboats; Field
Marshal Nugent, of Austria; the O'Donnells,
of Spain; the Neills and &Mekong, of France,
and a host of others, which even its columns if
double their size would' not hold ?
What also could Itiabbion expect but abuse
from a narrow-minded crew, who regard - the
negro as the summits Bottum of human perfec
tion. The editor of the Boston Commonwealth
would do well to move its concern to Africa,
the native continent of the negro, and try MI
hand on. the improvement and civilization of
his black brethren. there. We have no doubt
whatever that he would find not a few of them
far superior to. himself.. Africa is.the place for
such philanthroplate. There they. will find
plenty of the raw material, while their absence
from this country will be looked upon as a

SECRET POLITICAL SOOIETIES.-A secret po
litical society is generally organized under a
hot-headed president, a cool-headed treasurer,
and a secretary who is a spy. Its members are
got together in order to be sold wholesale.
We have experienced no feeling of alarm
therefore at the information that the Loyal
Leaguers of this State have organized secret
societies. We have a lodge in this city. We
understand that they have affiliations through
this State and other States, and that they boast
that President Lincoln is one of their number.
Cowardice and• folly are the characteristics
of these clandestine concerns, and we are not
surprised to learn that these members are se
cretly arming themselves. The smell of caeir
own powder and the noise of their own percus
sion caps will frighten these poor fellows out
of their holes
Let these secret Leaguers go on ! They pro
pose to govern and direct the public Leagues.
They expect to be supported by the contribu
tions of the shoddy contractors. They count
upon the success of frauds concocted in secret
In all this they will be deceived. They are
organizing defeat.
Meantime, the Democrats of the State, de
nouncing and disclaiming all secret organiza
tions for political purposes, ate entering upon
the campaign, expecting to carry it by politi
cal discussion, by a public platform, by a free
press and the unconstrained vote by ballot. •
